"Stop hiding behind that "out of context""

You have such a weak position that you have to resort to out and out falsehoods and misrepresentations to make it look like you are engaging in discussion when you are really just blowing smoke.

Your quote;
<<<"all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form...">>>

The real quote and it's corresponding attribution;

"all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form...[53]" - Ernst Mayr, One Long Argument (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1991), p. 163.

Gee look at how the original read and the attribution that you so conveniently left off. Then you say:
"I agree with you on that. You posted it--what is your opinion on the first life form which informed evolutionary diversity?"

I posted it sure but you are the one that lacked the integrity to quote it properly and twisted it to purposely misrepresent my position.

Enough said.

You brought Haeckel into the discussion; I did not.

Oh? Here's what you said exactly.

"As the egg develops through evolutionary phases of fish and reptile it eventually takes on human evolutionary characteristics and develops consciousness."

The fertilized egg never becomes, or goes through, a fish phase, or a reptile phase. That was Haeckel's theory and it has been shown to blatant fraud. A fraud you had no qualms about using to dehumanize the unborn and make it look like killing it is no more problematic than killing a fish or a reptile.

<<<"the Embryo is fully Human and a distinct person from conception!">>>

"Don't you get it? There IS no embryo at conception. There is a fertilized egg or ZYGOTE. There IS no "person" at conception. There IS no embryo and there IS no fetus. There is a ZYGOTE."

A Human Being "by any other name" is still a Human Being. All Human are persons by nature regardless of the stage of development they have reached. You have not given any rational or scientific reasons to dispute this, and all your swearing and childish temper tantrums will not change that.
